Lady Chatterley's Lover





Bold, passionate, and erotic, this true classic of the twentieth century was called 'the most improper novel in the world' by Lawrence himself

Lyric and sensual, D.H. Lawrence’s scandalous novel explores the emotions of a lonely woman trapped in a sterile marriage and her growing love for the robust gamekeeper of her husband’s estate—with an introduction by Kathryn Harrison.

The basis for the major motion picture starring The Crown’s Emma Corrin and Unbroken’s Jack O’Connell

Inspired by the long-standing affair between D. H. Lawrence’s German wife and an Italian peasant, Lady Chatterley’s Lover follows the intense passions of Constance Chatterley. Trapped in an unhappy marriage to an aristocratic mine owner whose war wounds have left him paralyzed and impotent, Constance enters into a liaison with the gamekeeper Mellors.

Lady Chatterley’s Lover, considered one of the most remarkable literary works of the twentieth century, was banned in England and the United States following its initial publication in 1928. This Modern Library edition includes the transcript of the judge’s decision in the famous 1959 obscenity trial that allowed Lady Chatterley’s Lover to be published in the United States.
